Is it really a crime?
Especially under whatever crazy laws of the country they are located in?

Why MORE government intervention???? Seems to me there are several steps I can do that are effective without government intervention!

Let me know when the steps you take effectively protect not only yourself but the elderly and the less than brilliant and kids.
Until then enjoy your annoying ring/hangups.

I let any call go to voice mail except those in my contact list...and then I might check voice mail every few days...I did NOT get the phone gene.

Why did we need a “do not call” list? There were effective steps we could take, like taking our phone off the hook so nobody could call us. Or just disconnecting the line.

I’ve had recent calls from an area code which is not listed as a valid area code. How do they do that!?

they could flash “FREE $$$$” on the caller ID and I would never be curious enough to call them back.

We get about 3 calls a day from Credit Card Services. I have a variety of things I do to those people. Mostly I don't answer but when I do I pretend to be drunk and waste their time, or I put the phone down in front of the radio and let them listen to Rush until they figure it out. Sometimes I get a live person and just tell them how stupid they are. Nothing seems to make any difference and they keep calling.

I only answer calls that are in my directory. It comes up with the name of the person. You’re not in there I don’t answer.

Silverleaf is getting this type of call in the middle of the night.
What effective measures do you have for Silverleaf, that still enable them to get important calls in the middle of the night?

Is this a different Do Not Call list from a few years ago? The old one no longer works.

You would think that our government with all it’s NSA snoopynish could crack down on this type of crime with ease and actually do “We the People” a service.
